The Cartier Drive Extra Flat - short lived in the catalog but wonderful irrespective ⚖️🇫🇷
It’s no secret that I have been a huge fan of the Drive Extra Flat. The very thin profile, minimalist design, a new take on the Cartier design language - all spoke to me. A new dress watch at a time when integrated bracelet steel sports watches were all the rage spoke all the more to my sensibilities 😊
I guess the commercial side probably didn’t resonate as strongly with the shareholders as the visual did with me but fortunately I got mine while the getting was still possible 😉
The classical Piaget movement powering it might be small for the case but then again Cartier did the right thing with a solid case back - and in a two hander you do not notice the smallness of the movement.
It’s instantly recognizable as a Cartier yet sufficiently different to be fresh. And the thin profile really makes it a wonderful watch, easily sliding under any cuffs you might pair it with.
So unfortunate that it left the catalog in some ways but great that they had the courage to make it in the first place 👏🏻👍🏻
Any other Drives around?

That it certainly is 😊👍🏻
In many ways one of the more classically elegant in their recent collections 🙌🏻
As you know, I like mine very much
A test - I mean a wrist - drive is all it took to convince me, it sure did help I got it for a real bargain despite having the full set: ...
I know you like yours a lot 😊👍🏻
And rightfully so 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The fact that in watch terms it was pretty good value, helped, too 😊
Your Cartier collection…
Is more extensive of course 😊 I believe this can make a good entry point, though, for those interested in entering into the brand sphere 👍🏻
Simplicity with just the amount of shape to make it different
and good looking. Best, Emmanuel
I am a big fan of Cartier and love this stunning and classy looking Drive a lot.
The blue strap also just works so well with it as well, wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
Thanks a lot Marc 🙏🏻
This is the OEM strap that doesn’t get that much use with the watch. Perfectly fitting but somehow been using other straps with it more 😊🤷🏻♂️
Thanks a lot 👍🏻🙏🏻
I can understand your wish for a display case back. I guess the design choice made also resulted in a thinner watch 😊🤷🏻♂️
